The man responsible for the most decisive suck against Greece – PSI.

It is hard to feel sorry for such a dedicated, conscious Quisling employee of the 4th Reich. Pity about the others near him who did not deserve such a fate.

Somewhere, somehow in this relic of a country there must be a message that high treason is not without mortal risk!

Very first, what on earth is Papademos doing in Athens at the Bank of Greece? I think we should be told. As far as we know, he holds no public office here.

2nd, this ECB vice-president was externally and undemocratically imposed on Greece after they PM undemocratically deposed Papandreaou for daring to suggest consulting the greek people on their fate. ECB Banker Papademos then put in place the mechanics for the daylight robbery of the Greek state and people under the until then unheard of “PSI”. This confiscated 49% of Greece’s public funds in one day, for the foot profit of private northern European banks.

This traitorous Greek Papademos was unconcerned about putting a bomb under the life of every Greek citizen, but played his illegal ECB bankster role by kickstarting the downward spiral toward non-sovereignty and poverty Greece is in today. He should thank his fortunate starlets his retribution is so minor – if indeed it IS retribution from a Greek entity and not something pretending to be Greek – as has been so common. Maybe he’ll take this as a sign to stir h back to Frankfurt and Luxembourg where he belongs.
